Price Drop $3150 to $2900 usd National Duolian For Sale

[canadian]

Hi all…..

I am in Canada and selling my 1931 National Duolian.  It’s the transitional hooks on coverplate. No tines are broken and still functions as it should. It has an Ebony fingerboard which is original, and original frets.  I bought it about 15 Yrs ago.  Im going to ask what I payed for it, not looking to make money, but need the cash to fund another guitar.  The guitar has always played well for slide, but will definitely need a neck set if you want to play higher than the 5th fret.  I only use my Nationals for slide so it isn’t an issue for me, but the new owner will almost certainly want to have it done.  I’ve always kept it in open D or G. Original cone and tuners.  Cone sounds fantastic but tuners are sloppy and will probably want to be changed but I have always used them as they were, as I didn’t change tunings much.  It is a fantastic sounding Duolian, I’ve had a few.  As far as Color it’s the Grey/green early Duco.  The Duco is almost worn off the front naturally.  It’s about 90% intact on the back. The front has a really nice patina, lots of character and mojo.  I can ship in a hard case.  Nice med sized mahogany neck.  I can answer more questions if anyone is interested. I payed $3500 usd and am asking $3000 ..Shipping to UK is fine, I will at very least split the shipping .  I was born in England and have many relatives there I could ship to, might be much cheaper, just a thought.  Someone will love this guitar. I have the original tailpiece which will be put back on.  Anyone interested let me know and we can talk about specifics.  It’s the non ribbed coverplate which I personally love.  I’d like to move this guitar, I have 2.  If you have a reasonable offer, let’s talk. Thanks all…
